Enjoy.. Edited 11/02/15 01:59 AM by XRSEXT 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sh*t at explaining....but just wondering whether the two bushes that replace the one bush.....whether those 2 bushes are slightly smaller in size than the single. Does that make sense lol Cause I assume those 2 bushes are the ones supplied in the kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XRSEXT Member 235 Member For: 12y 5m 6d Gender: Male Posted 15/02/15 10:06 PM Author Share Posted 15/02/15 10:06 PM Have driven the car all weekend and everything seems to be settled in very well.. No dramas at all and the rear end really holds down well now, instead of ending up sideways in first and second when launching it, car seems to just hold the rear straight now and progresses to the next gear. A major improvement on traction and no more broken diff bush ever again. Anybody thinking of doing these mods, its well worth it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
